I have completed 3 FOLFOX treatments with most of the expected side effects. Mouth sores, nose sores and bleeding, rash on neck and arms, diarrhea, and overall tired and weakness. My goal at this time is to make it through 6 treatments and then discuss with doctor about quitting chemotherapy. Has anyone discussed this with their doctor and what was the outcome. I am really struggling with the quality of life as I go through the chemotherapy treatment, and I am not sure the 6 months lost during the chemotherapy is worth is at 74 years old.
